Actually, it is unrendered. It is "rendered" using Sketchup's built-in rendering system.

It's how it looks when you are modeling.

Wow. That' pretty sick.

Haha

I'm really looking forward to that project

eaol, how do you make the flat awning?

If you mean the Tatooine buildings, I projected a texture on a warped surface.

If you don't mean that, be more precise.

Sketchup has a rendering system?

Actually, yes, it does, but it is a very limited rendering software.

Hm. How can I enable it?

Technically its enabled by default, but you can look under view>toolbars i believe and there should be rendering options under there.

If I have time today, I'll look for it, I haven't opened Sketchup in months...

What i meant was normally you can't use a single poly because one side would be completey transparent. I wanted to know how you got a single polygon for the awning, with both sides being visible.


EDIT: My vault arches.

Nice arches.

Anyway, It was a render, so I only used 1 face. When I work on it more I'll fix that.

Btw: If I texture both sides, won't they both be visible? I assume they wont have collision for inside parts though

No.
Yes.

Read up on normals.

Ok, thats what I thought.

I read that article, but how would I go about making to normals for a mesh?

I should mention, however, that if you have an alpha channel on the texture, both sides will be visible and have correct collision, I think. Look at nab2_prop_fence01.

Ok first off, is the nab2_prop_fence01 in the mod tools, because i dont have them. and secondly, how do i get an alpha channel on a texture?

1. Yes, but in the stock Naboo they're easy to spot. Big fences with their bars close together.
2. Alpha Channels

Nope.

nab2_prop_fence01 is a double sided object. Polygons are in the same place on each side, just reversed.
